These Suspicious Thoughts

These suspicious thoughts. They nag at me at the back of my head. I've never seen or heard these thoughts before. Normally the thoughts go away, but these thoughts or rather unfamiliar voices seep out. The voices conflict with my own. I keep telling myself to give up, but the voice plead or rather beg for …

Beyond the Fog…

For the first time in years the horizon in front of Saul stood clear. The waves crashed beneath the cliff he stood on, and the stars glimmered in the skies above him. Amazing. Saul struggled to think anything else of it as he stood enamored by the view in front of him. Saul had lived a …

Strength like no other.

It happened quicker than he anticipated. The world as he knew it began to crumble around him. Everything he once knew and accepted fell away into the darkness. He looked below him and the ground beneath him began to crumble as well. He desperately tried to cling on to what was left around him. It …

Yelling to the World

My stomach churned at the thought. Should I tell them? Should I try to be funny and play things off?  "So a memorable professional moment for me was that I survived another year." The girl spoke with such eagerness. While I kept my head facing downwards, ashamed. Unlike her, I had not survived another year. …

Master Plan for November

"There has to be a way.. there has to be." A single question plagued my mind this entire week and it continues to gnaw away at my mind like a parasite. "How can I make money on my own time and not return to the grind, the 9-5 office life?" It's been 6 days since …

T-Minus 2 days

Unemployed? Check. Laptop upgraded? Check. Uncertain future and fear of the unknown? Check and check. NaNoWriMo is upon us and I'm itching to begin writing my story. For the past month, I was going back and forth, wondering whether or not I was making the right decision. I wanted to draw and write and turn …

Change in Identity

“What do you do for a living?” That is a question that I’ve been asked multiple times. My immediate response to that question would be, “I work in HR as a recruiter.” Then I would soak it in, their response of amazement and awe. “Wow you’re so young!” “Good for you!” My life and my …

A Strange Feeling

It is 7:50 AM, and I'm sitting in my living room in front of my laptop trying to figure out what to do next. Normally, I'd be in the office already checking my emails and waiting to clock in. So after transitioning to a very different situation, I'm starting to have this weird feeling at …

That Superficial Feeling

I catch myself drifting off into space again as I sit in front of my computer wondering what to write next. I stare at the screen and can’t help but get frustrated at the cursor blinking on and off at me. It just sits there taunting me, and waiting for me to type away. “Fuck …

Back to Basics

These past few months I've really started pushing myself to draw more and the results were actual drawings of my favorite characters like Deku and All-Might! Yet, something still felt missing. In all my drawings I always had a reference to rely on (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that), but I want to start …
